    Peanut butter cold brew
    Jocelyn N.

    My mom and I went here for a coffee date while I was in town for vacation. She had heard great things and wanted to stop in. We each had a bagel, which are supplied by Bagel Dock in Calabash. There's a toaster and microwave available for customers to use for these. My mom loved her snickerdoodle latte and I really liked my peanut butter cold brew with peanut butter honey cold foam. There were groups of people playing cards and just hanging out inside -- it would be the perfect place for a book club or Bible study to gather. The coffee is roasted locally and there are sweets provided by another local business, Butter & Whisk. I'll definitely be coming back on my trips to Myrtle.

    Cortado at Be Known Coffee

    Morning coffee as I'm exploring the South Carolina coastline this weekend. I stopped in here and had a warm greeting and friendly faces. Great to see the owner being up front and present, making conversations with customers. There was a nice flow of folks coming and going on Saturday including a women's group. My cortado was excellent. Smooth and bright and very tasty. The follow-up cup of Ethiopian was just the boost I needed after a sleepless night. I love that they make their own flavored syrups! Wifi worked well and the seating is comfortable. This is an adorable spot and I enjoyed my time! [Review 19311 overall - 919 in South Carolina - 281 of 2023.]

    The snickerdoodle coffee is delish!

    My first visit and it was delish. The snickerdoodle coffee is amazing!! Service was quick and everything is fresh

    Seasonal menu.

    Stopped in for the first time today after hearing many great things about Be Known. The owners, Ron and Kristy are very warm and welcoming and make you feel as if you are a regular. The atmosphere is very relaxing with plenty of seating for conversation, reading and even working. In addition to coffee and tea,have a small selection of bagels from The Bagel Dock and a small selection of pastries. I got a peppermint white mocha and it was like the perfect hug in a cup. You can tell that they put love and care into every drink that they make. I will definitely be back again and will bring a book or 2 to read while I'm here. lol

    My chai latte

    I got an iced chai latte with pumpkin syrup and it tastes SO good!!! Also the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming and the people who work here were very kind and offered to answer any questions we had. Would totally recommend this place!

    Perfect cozy vibe and great beverages! This is the perfect place to hang out by yourself and enjoy a coffee or hangout with friends. The special drinks are outstanding! I only have good things to say about this place. Highly recommended!

    Some floaty grounds in my iced shot.

    Cute coffee shop, very kind and accommodating staff, good coffee. Great little locally owned shop. If you have a sweet tooth they carry some local baked goods that are amazing. I ordered an iced coffee with chocolate and orange syrup. Loved my drink but it was a little sweet for my liking. I would order half sweet next time. The space is cozy and clean with lots of comfy seating. The AC works great.

    Some kind of chocolate orange signature drink. It was rather good.

They support the community, putting their resources back into those in need. The coffee was fresh, fun seasonal flavors, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

They have an outdoor patio in the back which has lighting for the evening. There are two entrances one is on 16th and one is in the parking lot. Upon entering the facility, there was a smell of water residue, which kind of turned me off at first I won't lie. Walking in you can see they have a huge grinder with sacks of coffee beans, there essentially grinding their own coffee beans to then roast and create drinks. I found that to be a huge plus. You don't see that often. There are hallways with seating as well as a communal space that is shared with a new juice beverage bar, which opened up next door. I think the coffee Roastery may actually be new as well. Other than the scent inside, I felt like it was big spacious and clean. Seems to be a little hidden gem in an area with an expected to be! There are bathrooms within the hallways, not near the eating areas which is always a plus. They're also seems to be a meeting room that they're building which would be really cool if you are a work from home person and looking for a quiet place to have a conference call or maybe get the team out of the office to cook grab a cup of coffee and a snack. It has a slide or tour for privacy. Other than that, the staff wasn't really friendly unfortunately. They were talking amongst themselves. Generally quiet little music playing overhead. People that were customers were nice but they seem to mostly be working independently. So it wasn't too loud maybe a nice place to plug-in to email, etc. during the workday. I ordered an iced vanilla latte. Coffee taste good. Overall, I didn't eat any of the food, but it was general bakery items like bagels and muffins. I'm not sure who they were provisioned with. I'll try it again in the future just to see if the experience is a little better but like I said, I think between the staff not really communicating or socializing with consumer and the scent that was throughout the facility. I think those were the two things that kind of turned me off a little bit. I'll be back though and give it a second try.

And it is an improvement over the aforementioned. Meaning if you like dark coffee...this is your place. They understand what a flat white is most of the time and for me, who prefers lighter fruity roasts...their hit you in the nutz strength is well tempered with ordering a latte or FW if you follow me. While strong, it is beautifully roasted and does not leave you with a burnt taste. But you will not get those third wave hoity toity "notes" them nerds dream about. The staff...oh the staff...I do NOT know how they maintain such an upbeat and encouraging disposition encased in a tiny metal box all day, but when I have felt very low and needed some community love...I have always been lifted up by their vibe even before I get my cup of brew. Also they like dogs. Only missing one star because the new baked goods are too sweet and there are no cookies.

    Over New Year's, we had this coffee inside our houseboat, and my husband--who's more of a coffee…read moredrinker than I am--absolutely fell in love with it. He had me try it too, and I was amazed! I usually prefer a light coffee that's not too strong or burnt-tasting (unlike a certain popular chain...), and this one was perfect.

While thinking of Father's Day gift ideas, I decided to get him a bag of the same coffee we enjoyed on the boat--along with a T-shirt. We don't live too far from Wilmington, so we're definitely planning to check out the storefront next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
